M23 is going to withdraw at Kitchanga
Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is mediating security issues in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, announced that all East African countries have already sent troops, and they are continuing to arrive at their bases.
These are the decisions being made with the approval of the heads of the East African countries so that M23 group can communicate with the Congolese government.
The first South Sudanese soldiers entered the eastern part of the DRC, at the end of last week.
In a statement issued on Monday, Kenyatta said that as the EAC (EACRF) continued to reach the DRC, the M23 group continued to move and surrender its bases.
He continued, “The heavily armed group of M23 has left the following bases in North Kivu, in the west: Sake – Mshaki – Neenero – and Kilorirwe. Kitshanga is expected to leave on Tuesday of this week.”
In addition, he said that these activities will free the Bunagana-Rutshuru-Kibumba-Goma trade route, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and provide relief to those in need.
So far, the troops sent to the DRC have gone to different areas, where the Kenyan troops are in Kibati, Kibumba and Rumangabo.
Burundian troops are in Sake, Mshaki, Karuba and Kilorirwe, and are expected to continue in Kitchanga.
It is while the Ugandan Army is in Bunagana, and it is expected that they will go to Kiwanja before April 15, 2023.
On different occasions, the M23 group accused the Government Forces of wanting to go where it left off, to use it to carry out attacks. They are things that it considers to be against the peace agreement so that it can lead to fighting
